Justification:
Listed as Critically Endangered because its Extent of Occurrence is less than 100 km2, all individuals are in a single location, and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat on the Cerro Socopo, Venezuela.

This species is known from a single specimen taken at Cerro Socopó, 84km north-west of Carora, in Falcón state, Venezuela (10.28N, 70.48W), at 1,250m asl. It is assumed to be restricted to the Cerro Socopó.

The range of this species does not include any protected areas, and the species' habitat is in urgent need of protection. Additional survey work is needed to determine the biology and population status and trends of this species.
